It is 1948, and England is recovering from a war. But at 21 Nevern Street, London, the conflict has only just begun. Queenie Bligh's neighbours do not approve when she agrees to take in Jamaican lodgers, but Queenie doesn't know when, or if, her husband, Bernard, posted to India during the war, will return. What else can she do? Gilbert Joseph was one of the several thousand Jamaican men who joined the RAF to fight against Hitler.

But when she joins him she is shocked that London is far from the golden city of her dreams. Even Gilbert is not the man she thought he was. Through the stories of these people, Small Island explores a point in England's past when the country began to change. In this delicately wrought and profoundly moving növel, Andrea Levy handlés the weighty themes of empire, prejudice, war and love, with a superb lightness of touch and generosity of spirit. 'Wonderful... seamless... a magnificent achievement' Linda Grant 'Agreat read... honest, skilful, thoughtful and important' Guardian 'A cracking good read' Margaret Forster Vissza
